at the BARE MINIMUM, you need new valve springs. If you want to upgrade some insurance stuff, go ahead and change out to:

LS6 oil pump
LS6 timing chain
Hardened pushrods

I also like to replace the seats and retainers whenever replacing the springs. Most springs come with them just wanted to suggest that they be used too. Otherwise exactly what 3.4camaro said.
